Automatic Contest Setting Setup

KickoffLabs automatically sets contest settings based on the campaign that you chose. For example, the scoring is set to referrals + actions which is excellent for boosting your Facebook follower count with little effort on your part. You simply design and launch the giveaway (with the help of KickoffLabs) and send out your launch hype announcements. As your first participants respond and enter they will be incentivized to spread the word about your contest to their network of friends and followers to earn additional entries + a change at winning the giveaway.

Automatic Action Setup

To help gain followers and engagement even faster, we also automatically includes platform specific actions that leads can take in exchange for a bonus point or two. This is configured during the campaign setup and is based on the campaign type that you chose.

Pick a Winner Tool

Take the difficult decision of choosing a winner off your plate by letting KickoffLabs choose the winner for you with our Pick a Winner feature! Choose from a weighted contest that increases entrant’s odds of being selected based on their participation and referrals, or opt to have the tool select a winner or winners at random.
